But, the description in Buenchico’s link doesn’t match the picture.
I read it as the front of your free foot resting against the calf of the other leg, but the pic shows the woman with the sole of her free foot against the side of the other leg.
Sorry to be pedantic.
I can do it either way. I won’t ask Husband to try it. I don’t think he’d manage half a second. Which is a bit worrying. He is 78 though.
